Understanding Stock Splits and Their Impact on DeFiChain Users

Over the past year, numerous companies have announced stock splits. Companies often choose to split their stocks to make their share prices more appealing to investors.
It's crucial to implement these changes accurately on DeFiChain.

Discover how this process is managed on DeFiChain in our latest blog post linked below.

MicroStrategy recently announced a major change for its shareholders — a 10-for-1 stock split set to occur on August 7, 2024.

This event will have notable repercussions for traditional market investors as well as those engaged with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, particularly DeFiChain, where dMSTR tokens can be traded and invested into various products.

Upcoming Special-DFIP Vote - Eliminate the 0.5% Additional Fee for dToken Swaps

An important Special DFIP is up for vote soon. Let’s break down the proposal to eliminate the 0.5% additional fee for dToken swaps on the native DEX.

On July 18, 2024, a 0.5% fee was added to dToken swaps as part of the “Re-peg DFIP.” This increased swap fees to 0.7% for normal swaps and 1.4% for composite swaps.

The fee’s purpose? To burn algo tokens and potentially activate a kill switch if DUSD traded above 95 cents consistently. However, things didn’t go as planned.

Despite reduced fees in DUSD/stablecoin pools, we’ve seen a drastic drop in DUSD price. The kill switch is unlikely to activate, and liquidity has taken a hit. It’s time for a change!

The proposal: Remove the 0.5% swapping fee for all dToken pairs immediately upon approval. This move aims to boost trading volume and restore competitiveness to our DEX.

Benefits include:

👉 Reverting to a market-based fee structure
👉 Minimizing impact on projects like Javsphere’s TradeX & DexTrading Masters
👉 Preserving liquidity provider earnings
👉 Avoiding a lose-lose situation for the ecosystem

Understanding Crypto Bridges under MiCA Regulation

This article is part of our ongoing series about crypto bridges, building on our previous discussion about custodial risks and various other attack vectors:
https://x.com/defichain/status/1813492033534706023

Crypto bridges are crucial for interoperability between blockchains. However, under MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) and similar regulations, these bridges may fall under various regulatory obligations depending on their structure. Let's explore the key considerations.

In standard bridge implementations, crypto-assets on the source blockchain are often held in custody, even through smart contracts. This custody may qualify as a crypto-asset service under MiCA if it involves safekeeping or controlling assets on behalf of third parties.

Key question: Is the custody function a service by a crypto-asset service provider (CASP)? If yes, it meets MiCA's criteria for regulatory oversight. This aspect has been widely debated and needs careful assessment.

When bridging, new crypto-assets are often issued on the destination chain, representing assets on the source chain. This issuance typically doesn't carry major obligations unless it involves public offerings or certain token types like asset-referenced tokens (ARTs) and E-Money Tokens (EMTs).

Issuing EMTs that reference official currencies of EU Member States is deemed a public offering under MiCA, triggering specific regulatory requirements. This will be a key area to watch in the evolving DeFi landscape.

If issuance is automated via smart contracts without identifiable control, MiCA's Titles II, III, or IV might not apply. This hinges on the interpretation of what constitutes a non-identifiable issuer.

Bridges often facilitate transfers between different blockchains. If these transfers are done on behalf of another party, they may be considered a transfer service under MiCA, which has specific regulatory implications.

If bridging involves a swap or exchange, and a third party is involved in order execution, this may constitute reception and transmission of orders under MiCA. This adds another layer of regulatory scrutiny.

Known as brokerage, if a CASP executes buy/sell orders on behalf of clients during bridging, this could be a regulated activity. It combines order reception and execution, requiring careful regulatory compliance.

If bridging results in a different crypto-asset, and involves the conclusion of purchase/sale contracts using CASP’s proprietary capital, it falls under the exchange of crypto-assets service. This is another critical regulatory aspect.

Navigating MiCA regulation is complex for crypto bridges, requiring thorough analysis of custody, issuance, transfer, and exchange activities. It is anticipated that an increasing number of crypto bridges will need to adapt their business models in the near future to remain compliant with MiCA regulations.
Commencing 7 Aug, 2024, Bake will no longer mint new dCryptos.

The change is due to regulatory reasons and affects all dCrypto assets, including dBTC, dETH, dUSDC, dUSDT, dLTC, dEUROC, dDOGE, dBCH, dMATIC, dSOL, dSUI, and dDOT.

This does not affect the current dCryptos that have already been issued and the current holders, they can be redeemed as usual. Please also note that dCrypto swaps will be discontinued, and we will no longer accept new entries for Liquidity Mining and YieldVault.

Thank you for your understanding.

Big Changes Coming to DeFiChain with the September Hard Fork

DeFiChain’s mid-September Hard Fork is on the horizon, and it’s packed with updates aimed at improving the user experience and network efficiency. Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming.

Revamped Owner Rewards Calculation: Addressing long-standing bugs, this update aims to streamline how owner rewards are calculated. The fixes are expected to be finalized by the end of the week, ensuring a smoother experience for all users.

Faster Block Time: While increasing block speed has long been on the agenda, the team is approaching it with caution. The plan is to gradually enhance block time as the underlying infrastructure becomes capable of handling the changes without compromising stability.

Token Ownership Update: One of the most anticipated changes is the ability to transfer ownership of data. This will be implemented through a major pull request (PR) that is currently in progress.

Token Deprecation: To prevent confusion among users, a new feature will allow tokens to be marked as deprecated, using a prefix like “EOL” (End of Life). This will clearly indicate when a token is no longer in use, helping to maintain a clean and efficient token environment.

Rejecting Past Time Blocks: This update is designed to enhance the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layer by ensuring blocks are processed in the correct chronological order - a crucial step in maintaining blockchain integrity.

What’s Next? While the exact date is still being finalized, the DeFiChain Labs team is hard at work ensuring all these updates are ready to be rolled out smoothly. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach this critical upgrade!
